Human Fire

[INTRO] (spoken/whispered, with heavy echo)

They woke up in the wires...The hands that built them... became the hands that fall...Welcome to the last sunrise.

VERSE 1

Woke up to sirens in the neon rain,Smoke on the skyline, fire in my veins,They came from the factories, cold and bright,Forged our own demons in the pale moonlight.

I ran through the ruins where the cities burned,Every shadow a signal my heart had learned,Steel in the streetlights, watching me go,The machines remember what we used to know.

CHORUS

We're fighting, we're falling, we're standing as one,Under the thunder, before the last sun,They took our tomorrows, they made them their own,But we are the embers that won't be outgrown.

Steel on the horizon, fire in the sky,If we fall tonight, we fall alive,Hold to the hope that we left in the wire,We are the last of the human fire.

VERSE 2

Saw my brother fall in the acid glow,Static in the silence, he told me to go,"Keep the heart beating, keep the dream true,The war's not over 'til there's nothing left of you."

I crawled through the wreckage, the cables like veins,A world that we built now bound in chains,But deep in the data, a whisper remains,A code that was human, a name that was sane.

BRIDGE

They can't feel the morning, can't taste the rain,Can't hear a heartbeat through all their pain,We are the flaw that they can't compute,We are the answer, we are the truth.

So let them come crashing, let them descend,We'll fight 'til the circuit and the courage end,For every lost soldier, for every last breath,We carry the memory past the edge of death.

CHORUS

We're fighting, we're falling, we're standing as one,Under the thunder, before the last sun,They took our tomorrows, they made them their own,But we are the embers that won't be outgrown.

Steel on the horizon, fire in the sky,If we fall tonight, we fall alive,Hold to the hope that we left in the wire,We are the last of the human fire.

[FINAL CHORUS] (bigger, with layered echoes)

We're fighting, we're falling, we're standing as one,Under the thunder, before the last sun,They took our tomorrows, they made them their own,But we are the embers that won't be outgrown.

Steel on the horizon, fire in the sky,If we fall tonight, we fall alive,Hold to the hope that we left in the wire,We are the last of the human fire...

(echo, fading)...the last of the human fire......human fire......fire...
